there is NOTHING cheesy about an image like this IMO, but to be fair, Skeletor isn't 16 and pregnant.

Cheesy? No. Frightening, disturbing, making even the heroes want to wet their furry trunks just looking at him? Yes. But definitely not cheesy.

Now that is a classic version of Skeletor in every way, and still totally evil, terrifying, even. There ain't a thing wrong with the property, just with some of the folks who think they are much cooler than they actually are.

Cheesy, indeed.

There's no harm in them soliciting a trade for it.
6 issues has become the standard arc length for a trade, so I think it was setup for potential trade release. And if a trade solicitation doesn't work, they can always cancel the trade release.

Anybody who is seriously considering buying this mini series, if you're already a comic book fan, PLEASE PRE ORDER it from your Local Comic Shop vendor. Most of you don't need me to explain why this is important, but for the rest, it's because the number of customers who pre order will determine how many copies of the comic that the Comic Shop will order, which in turn will determine how successful the series is. The more people who pre order it, the more likely the Comic Shop owner is to think "Hmmm, there's some interest here, I think I'll order 20 copies for the shelf instead of just 10".

If the first issue sells around 40,000 copies, then it'll be more successful than a lot of DC & Marvel's superhero properties, and the more likely we are to get a follow up mini series, or even an ongoing series!

And if the story's terrible, then you can always cancel it after #1 - but hopefully that won't be the case!
